This is it, the final day of this 12 days of bike fit podcast series. I hope you've enjoyed listening to it as much as I did putting it together.

It's been a real privilege to hear from so many bike fitters and coaches and I am grateful for them all in sharing their wisdom, thoughts and advice.

Welcome to day 10 and I hope you've been enjoying this festive podcast series.

If you've only just joined the series, welcome, but make sure you go back and listen to all the other episodes as there have been great words of wisdom from each and every contributor and we really appreciate them taking the time to share their knowledge.

Today we have Bianca Broadbent who is a bike fitter and physio with some really important words for advice when working with junior riders or if you're a parent with an aspiring young racer.

Especially in our time of accelerated development where teams are scouting and recruiting younger and younger athletes in order to find a competitive edge... it's worth taking a step back and looking at the longer term picture.

Secondly, Kate from Hackney Bike Fit asks a question to those of you who commute by bike and those that don't see themselves as 'real' or 'serious' cyclists. It's amazing how our mindset can hold us back from finding the real path forward. Show Links:

Welcome to day 6 of the 12 days of bike fit.

Firstly we'll kick off with a tip from Ronit Debnath, an experienced bike fitter from India who gives us an important consideration we often overlook when it comes to helmet choice. Get this wrong and the consequences can be the direct opposite of what you want from a vital piece of your equipment.

Secondly we welcome back James Roberts from Fit2Ride who has crystallized his thoughts around the impact of different crank lengths - so listen on before you slap a set of 165s on your bike ;)
